Seriously, 40 bucks a month gets you a great server at Hetzner then you can have mattermost there and many other office utilities.

- baq 1y agoOnly if sysadmin time is $0/h. I’ve nothing against self hosting, but it isn’t necessarily cheaper than saas just because you can get amazing amounts of hardware for what amounts to a rounding error in accounting.
- pessimizer 1y agoMost of this stuff runs on autopilot once it's set up, which is why these companies have such huge margins. That rounding error in accounting is also a monthly charge, and it sometimes happens that you get a spontaneous demand for $50K in a week and $200K in the next year. That could buy you enough hardware to run a chat for every school hacking club in the world, and a sysadmin to manage it.
